Tips for imroving your health: Recommendations from the Prophet Muhammad ?

What did the Prophet Muhammad teach about healing — and how does it compare with what modern research says?

Honey and black seed. Dates and olive oil. Fasting, cupping, clean hands and a calm heart. Prophetic Medicine: Tips for Better Health gathers the health guidance found in the Qur’an, authenticated hadith and the work of Muslim physicians, and presents it in plain, practical language for today’s reader.

This is not a book of miracle cures. It is a careful, readable guide to a tradition that treated the body, the mind and the community as one, with clear notes on where the evidence is strong, where it is still early, and when a qualified doctor must come first.

Inside you will find:

• A short encyclopedia of 29 foods and natural remedies, from aloe vera, figs and ginger to honey, black seed (Nigella sativa), olive oil, dates and zamzam water
• The history of Islamic medicine, from the first mobile hospital to Ibn Sina, al-Razi and the great pharmacists of Baghdad and Cordoba
• Hygiene and daily habits: bathing, washing the hands, brushing the teeth, eating and drinking etiquette
• Diet and discipline: the halal diet, the dangers of overeating, alcohol, smoking and drugs, and the role of fasting
• Mind and heart: remembrance, prayer, optimism, sleep, stress, anger, loneliness and the value of charity
• Family and society: breastfeeding, marriage, circumcision, cupping (hijamah) and how Islamic teaching links health to community
• The therapeutic role of the Qur’an, and a Qur’anic approach to healthy eating

Written for Muslim readers who want to live the Sunnah with understanding, and for any curious reader interested in natural remedies, traditional medicine and the history of healing.
